Ex Neurotrack, Stanford CS TA, Bonterra Tech, Bases Insight, and AiGo Learning.
Stanford CS + Social Goods - Vice President
About me:
I'm Joseph, a CS student at Stanford who likes building things that actually get used. Most of my work lives somewhere between full-stack systems and applied ML, whether that's infrastructure for a cross-agency welfare platform at Vimes, research on early dementia detection at Neurotrack, or the course planner a lot of Stanford students use through Carta. On campus, I teach CS 106B and help run CS + Social Goods, where we build software for nonprofits. Outside of work, I'm usually cooking, hiking, or playing basketball. My favorite projects tend to be the personal ones, those live on my portfolio below.

Masako Lien Petty Le-Maciukiewicz, MD, MSc
Affiliate, Pathology Ops Business Office
BioMy current research focuses neurodegenerative and ocular diseases, with an added focus on the unfolded protein response, specifically the PERK pathway. Through my work, I investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying diseases like Alzheimer's and advanced tauopathies, with an emphasis on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.
As I continue to deepen my understanding of disease pathology, I am also pursuing a residency in pathology (ECFMG-Certified, AAMC: 14765627), with a current interest in neuropathology and forensic pathology. Alongside my primary research, I have been involved in a forensic unidentified persons project, applying my skills from my previous graduate studies in forensic science and extensive autopsy experience. Here I further explore my passion for understanding disease processes and the human body through both clinical and investigative perspectives, fueled by empathy and compassion.
Additionally, I volunteer as a crisis counselor and enjoy activities such as traveling and learning languages, Toastmasters, and escape rooms. -
Quynh-Thu Le, MD, FACR, FASTRO, FARS
Katharine Dexter McCormick and Stanley McCormick Memorial Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory focuses on identifying pathways and biomarkers of treatment resistance in head and neck cancer using clinical samples. We explore approaches to modulate these pathways through preclinical models (cell lines, organoids, tumor bearing mice) in order to develop precise strategies against these resistant mechanisms. At the same time, we are also studying pathways involved in treatment-related toxicity and develop strategies to prevent or overcome these toxicities.
